@rick stein I think that’ll be my best bet if I want to try and make some cash for setting a deal up!

Should it be private or business.- What country should i be looking for in order to buy an asset.- Where should i look for assets.

If she went to Assisted Living - I can help you but it's only KS Specific - each state is different but I'm guessing some of the guidelines carry across states in regards to how she will pay for the ALF and eligibility for Medicaid and Home and Community Based Services (which is a medicaid program that would help pay for ALF)Anyways in KS - in for someone to qualify for HCBS/Medicaid to help pay for their care either in the  home or assisted living - you need to have less than $2k in assets - and consistently less than $2k in the bank - there is also something called a 5 year lookback period - I do not 100% understand how the lookback period works but will soon enough.So - as far as the assets are concerned - if your friends mother has the house and any savings there is no way the govt will be paying for most of her stay in ALF - and I also think it would be difficult to house her in an ALF facility for $3k per month - can be done but tough - Due to no estate planning the family needs to decide on what they are going to do - they will either need to sell the house now and just pay her money down at the private pay rate in a facility until she "runs out of money" then apply for Medicaid and go from there or see if the strategy of renting the house with her present income will be enough to cover the facility she's staying at.Individually the systems are simple however there are so many moving parts to Medicaid HCBS I've discovered in my time as owner of a facility I can 100% understand the families frustrations.

Private money will always be more expensive than traditional.

You will have to go private money I believe on this one.

As for hard money lenders, they are more expensive than private money for sure but if you get a good enough deal they will happily lend to you.

I took out a private loan from a family member to purchase the property, and from what I understand I will need to assign the loan from my name into the LLC as well.
